What is Stored in the Data?
FIIs are continuing their buying trend however the momentum has slowed down due to the New Year holiday where they bought around 7493cr in the cash market last week while DIIs are still in the selling mood where they sold around 4171 Cr.
If we talk about F&O data then FIIs’ long exposure in index futures stands at 75% which is an overbought territory and it means if something negative comes then we may see sharp correction because the market is not perfectly hedged. PCR stands at 1.37 mark which is a comfortable level.
